Metaversal Daily Astral Terrain Forecasts for May 1 (Beltaine) through May 4th

Tuesday May 1 Hurray hurray, the first of May! Outdoor fucking starts today. May opens with Moon in early Virgo, infusing our dreams with insights from Mars’ recent retrograde as it collects energy from this planet of action and self-assertion. We feel the urge to finish projects and circumstances left incomplete from the first three months of the year, and we’ve got the drive and focus to do it, as Moon ties Mars, Pluto, Sun, and Jupiter together into another iteration of the Earth Grand Trine we’ve been graced with for nearly a year. Productivity and optimism levels are high today. It’s also International Workers Day and the Occupy Movement is up and at ‘em, having rested for the winter. The Revolution begins again! Wednesday May 2 The Day of Mercury in the Week of Water and the planet of Communication is in Aries. The mind may grow more restless or impatient at this time. Standing still or going over the old mental ground can become increasingly uncomfortable. Attack an issue, make a bridgehead and then get on to the next thing. Communication may be marked by new styles and methods, as well as a lack of objectivity. Aries, after all, is about "me," not you or us. My ideas, my mind and my need to express myself help reveal true personal needs, but can prove challenging when co-operation and compromise are required. Aggressive speech may come too easily, so temper these impulses, if you can. The Moon in Virgo finishes her connections with the other planets in Earth in the wee hours, then brings our attention to areas where our relationships need mending. We’re not likely to resolve things now, but our insights will come in handy later. At 3:58 am, the Moon enters a daylong void-of-course period that ends at 7:04 pm when it enters the astrological sign of Libra. It’s a great day to catch up on filing and take care of some organizational tasks that will set you up for future successes. Thursday May 3 The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Water, Briah. If you don't have a good laugh today, you are missing the point. There is a whole division of the Angelic Hierarchy assigned to the sephiroth Chesed (Jupiter) whose purpose is divine inspiration through laughter. And there is no vision more critical in the career of the adept than the Metaversal Joke. Did you here the one about the astrologer who broke his arm and attributed it to an accident? At 4:44 in the morning: you won't see a cop or a raccoon; you can pee in full phantasmagoria under the stars in the night with the wind high and salty and the dome of the sky in full splay sprayed and contusioned upon the black upon the twisted wicked love of the cypress in decline. Someday I'd like to stop three feet from the top of Everest. "Fuck it, I'm not going a single inch further." I'd say and turn around. Moon is balanced Libra today. Libra represents the period from 23 to 42 years old, when partnerships are made and balance is sought between others and oneself. On the World scale Libra is between 400 and 1100 AD, when division of the church and state took over, and the Dark Ages swept over Europe and Asia. The opposition is symbolic of the fact that in order to emerge from the unconscious, internal conflicts must be brought out into the light of day. Marriage was the primary process through which opposing countries where integrated into a whole. With the Moon in Libra we are aware of our communal relations, law, justice and balance. The 7th house (Libra) has been called the house of marriage. The key to the New Aeon of MA'AT is figuring out the new symbol for Libra, as the institution of marriage was originally designed as a tool by the Church to secure it's future domination. Those that cannot find this new symbol and perform these symbolic rites on themselves and their tribe, and the whole fabric of material being, will inherit only the blues, decay, and husks. Think more in terms of partnership and remember, your heart must be light as a feather. The Moon in Libra, makes contact today with the flagship planets of our new era, volatile Uranus and transformative Pluto. This is a long-term process that is in its opening stages; as such, we are also opening to the dilemmas that it contains, layer upon layer. We serve ourselves best when we let go of fear that prevents us from fully accepting the insights that will help us find a way through. Delicate communications can be handled well as the day waxes past noon, as Mercury sextiles Venus. Do what comes naturally.
